Replacing a water heater involves several variables that change the final bill. The main factors are the type of unit you choose—like standard tank models versus tankless systems—and the fuel source, whether gas or electric. Installation complexity also plays a role, especially if we need to update venting, gas lines, or electrical wiring to meet current building codes. Relocating a unit or upgrading to a higher capacity will also shift the bottom line.
The anode rod is a sacrificial metal rod inside your tank that prevents the inner lining from rusting. If your water starts smelling like sulfur or you see sediment, it is time for a replacement.
